This is my first mock ever, messed around and tried to compile sound picks and fill a bunch of different holes. Trade Revis to Bucs for 1st, 3rd, 6th Trade #9 to Saints for #15, 3rd, 2014 5th 1a- Jarvis Jones- OLB 1b- Kenny Vaccaro- S OR Jonathan Cooper- G 2- Larry Warford- G OR Matt Elam- S 3a- Steadman Bailey- WR 3b- Travis Kelce- TE 3c- Jonathan Franklin- RB 4- Zach Dysert- QB 5- Quanterus Smith- DE 6a- Brandon Jenkins- OLB 6b- John Lotulelei- ILB 7- Lonnie Pryor- FB Edit: If Star is available this could very well be the Panthers looking to trade up and not the Saints. Seeing as how they are one pick apart I don't see it effecting the mock very much.
Your draft would be a great job for the jets. I love the Baily pick early in the third. One question, who are the saints trading up to nine for?
Nice job. I'm always filled with admiration for you guys who do these mock drafts. LOVE the Elam pick, he would be the perfect counter for these big hybrid TEs that the Pats love
If Star is available at the 9 the Saints could be a good trade partner since they're moving to a 3-4. The book on Star says he can play all along the front 3. Doubt it would happen since it would cost them a 1, 3, & 4 to make that trade according to the trade value chart. Plus the Saints have no 2nd round pick, which would leave them short on picks. Maybe if T-bomb was their GM....
I really do love the Kelce and Franklin picks. Kelce seems a much better fit for the ground and pound offense that Jets want to run then a guy like Ertz. I also like the Cooper/Elam combination as it would be two immediate (hopefully) long term starters at positions of need. I hope Cooper lasts that long. I think the Jets would be better off taking Cooper 1st and then Jones with the 13th. Its crazy that both Cooper and Warmack may go in the top 10. But it really said how bad the top end of this draft is when both of these players would go late 1st round in a normal draft.
I'd like to substitute one of the sixth rounders for the LSU punter, Wing. They say he can punt the ball 60 yards in the air with either foot.
Great draft. I like both moves. Getting Jones at 13 is great. I've wanted him from the beginning. I love Vaccaro too. Ever since the Buccs jumped into The Revis situation I've been wanting Vaccaro. The extra picks just make this even better. Also like Dysert and love the Jenkins pick late.
No way Saints trade up. Too desperate for picks themselves. They're still losing picks from Bounty Gate.
Kelce isn't a great blocker, but he comes with the exact same resume/mold as current Philly TE Brent Celeck. Good fit for Morty's west coast offense.
I would be thrilled with your Jones/Vaccaro/Warford draft. I also LOVE the Lonnie Pryor pick, but I think he goes before the 7th.
All I have read and heard about Kelce is that he is one of the best blocking TEs in the draft. Just doing a quick google search all I see is praise for his blocking. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1553169-2013-nfl-draft-scouting-report-cincinnati-te-travis-kelce http://nflsfuture.com/2013/03/18/travis-kelce-scouting-report/ http://www.profootballcentral.com/2...t-scouting-report-te-travis-kelce-cincinnati/ http://www.nbcdfw.com/blogs/blue-st...ick-Travis-Kelce-TE-Cincinnati-202122791.html http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1725130 Until the Jets get a NFL caliber QB they will always be overly dependent on their running game.
